It seems that the Taiwanese manufacturer Acer does not want to stay without playing on the current board of games of Tablets (what a pun that I have come up with!) And that is why it launches its Acer Iconia A500 Tab.
From this morning of Friday, April 9, the Acer Iconia A500 Tab is now available in the Best Buy website for your reservation, for a price of 450 dollars (equivalent to $327approximately at the current rate). And it will be available for purchase from April 24.
This tablet will come with the Android Operating System version 3.0 (Honeycomb). At its heart will carry the powerful processor of Nvidia, Tegra 250 dual core 1 Ghz. Besides having 1 Gigabyte of RAM.
In terms of its graphics capabilities, they are also impressive. A 10,1 inch, deploying a 1280 × 800 pixel resolution (In this respect it equals the Motorola Xoom, and improves on the iPad2). Able to reproduce HD 720p video on that screen, or use the port HDMI output to view videos on external displays). The rear camera is 5 Megapixels and, in addition to photos, it will record video, while the front camera, 2 Megapixels will allow video conferencing or video chat.
For now the internal storage will be 16GB, although Acer plans to release a version with 32 GB in the future.
Likewise, for now, they are only going to release a version with WiFi only. Possibly, in the future they will present a version with 4G for the North American operator AT&T (at the moment only rumors).
As did the Motorola Xoom, the Iconia A500 Tab will support Flash, but it will not go on the market with it installed, but will be available through the Android Market in its Beta version for Android 3.0 Honeycomb.
In the tough market for tablets, it will have to deal with the Motorola Xoom and the iPad2, with which it will compete with its best asset in price. As for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10,1 inches, and with similar characteristics as the Motorola Xoom (this one with 32 GB of storage) and the Acer Iconia A500 Tab, it still does not have a release date, and all the rumors point to it still it will take time to be commercialized. So it becomes a good option for anyone who is looking for a cheap and powerful tablet with Android Honeycomb 3.0.
We will have to see what the BlackBerry RIM PlayBook that comes out on April 19 in this game of tablets can say. For now, being able to make a reservation at Best Buy is already an attempt to position itself in the market before the PlayBook and especially the expected Galaxy 10,1 ″.
Let's hope they are not drawn! (Sorry, the pun was irresistible).
Can you edit word documents? * - *
Of course, nowadays even in almost any android phone it is possible to edit documents in format for word, powerpoint, etc. I find the aesthetics and characteristics of this tablet attractive, I am going to consider it but I have already had a tablet, it is nice at first to chat from the kitchen bedroom etc, but the problem comes when I want to run heavy applications or video games I am seriously thinking about one pc touch if anyone has a recommendation 🙂
well, not only in android and symbian too, I have a nokia that has symbian and I can edit word etc. and a touch pc because look through the steel that W7 has.
Greetings.
